Do y’all think we’ve had enough Baby Shark? #Nickelodeon doesn’t think so.
Parents, get ready to be driven crazy all over again, this time through your TV. Nickelodeon will be creating an animated series for preschoolers based on the “Baby Shark” song, according to The Independent.
The series will be distributed globally. Baby Shark was first released on YouTube back in November 2015 but has been real hot this past year.
The song is not only the ninth most-watched video on YouTube ever, but it also made it to the Billboard Hot 100 list.
Everyone and their mom knows the song now and more than 700,000 cover videos have been made around the globe, according to Nickelodeon.
“’Baby Shark’ has captured the imagination of millions of fans around the world, so it’s no surprise it’s one of the top 10 most-viewed videos on YouTube ever,” said Ramsey Naito, the executive vice president of Nickelodeon Animation. “At the heart of any popular piece of content is a terrific character, and we have a great opportunity to further explore the world of Baby Shark and follow this family through some great animated adventures on Nickelodeon.”
Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products will be managing the consumer products licensing worldwide for the property, except in Asia.
“Baby Shark is a multiplatform phenomenon, and appetite for more content and products is strong around the world,” said Pam Kaufman, president of Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products. “Our outstanding creative teams are moving fast to get more Baby Shark product across multiple categories to retailers, and our content team is excited to develop a terrific original animated series that will bring this property to new heights and even more fans.”
Roommates, what do y’all think this Baby Shark show will look like and will you be watching? Let us know!
